What are reasons for difference of 164 notifications and (only) 28 confirmed FMD outbreaks?

164 notifications

117 sampled

47 not sampled

Central VS

Province office

District office

Private vet X X treatment for some time (incentive)

if fewer cases, no need to report (small outbreak)

Farmer X with second case, calls private vet

Time

Central VS X information (too) late and imcomplete

no confirmation, thus no notification

Province office X few resources to investigate

often too late for good fresh samples and investigation

District office X no means to investigate

informs province through monthly report

Private vet X X treatment for some time (incentive)

if fewer cases, no need to report (small outbreak)

Farmer X with second case, calls private vet

Time

Central VS X all have information at same time coordinate outbreak (investigation, mitigation of spread)

all know what to do

Province office X fresh lesions present

plan for control measures

District office X implement control measures locally

inform community

electronic notification of suspicion

Private vet X more (smaller) suspicions reported immediate feedback and support

Farmer X immediate feedback and support

Links between PCP-FMD and OIE health status


In South-East Asia and China, a FMD

Roadmap 2020 (SEACFMD) was established

in 1995, before the PCP-FMD and the Global

Strategy for FMD control

In South-Asia, regional roadmap meetings

were conducted in 2011 and 2013

In West Eurasia, regional roadmap meetings

have been conducted annually since 2008

In the Middle East and Northern Africa region,

two Regional roadmap meetings have been

conducted, in 2009 and 2014

In Eastern Africa, Regional roadmap

meetings have been conducted in 2012 and

2014

A single Regional roadmap meeting was held

in 2009 in Southern Africa (need to check

year)

So far, no regional roadmap meetings have

been conducted in Western Africa

And in Latin America, regional FMD control is

coordinated through PANAFTOSA

Step 4: RAG assessment


Step 4: Regional Advisory Group (RAG) assessment

Based on the feedback from the PCP-FMD experts (involving steps 1-3), the RAG assesses the progressive FMD control of each of the countries in the region

At the end of the regional roadmap meeting, the RAG discusses with each of the countries this assessment.

There are three outcomes possible for a country:1. Remain in the same PCP-FMD stage

2. Evolve one stage on the PCP-FMD

3. Evolve provisionally one stage on the PCP-FMD• This is conditional to submission of

– the most up-to-date version of the strategy plan required to move from one stage to the next (see slide 4)

– additional evidence of impact and implementation of the FMD control strategy in place


5. Each country (re) assesses its plans for

progressive FMD control and indicates this in a

regional overview (the Regional Roadmap)

Need for a comprehensive plan to study FMD4. Activities in PCP Stage 1

Comprehensive plan on FMDPlanning to better understand FMD occurrence

(=transmission routes, risks and impact)

• Collection of clinical outbreak investigation reports• Confirmation of FMD virus

• Advanced diagnostics: Serotype and topotype

• Locations, species and husbandry systems involved, morbidity and mortality

• Routes of transmission (direct, indirect, fomites)

• Socio-economic impact on livestock and livelihoods

• Value-chain analysis and stakeholder identification• How does livestock move across the country, by what ‘drivers’, governed

by who?

• NSP-Ab sero-survey • What is the level of infection compared with the level of clinical reporting?

What, when, how, where, who?

Why will a Strategic Plan improve FMD control ?

Developing the plan ensures:

– Analysis of risks

– Consideration of best use of limited resources to mitigate the risks

Once written, the plan is a valuable communication tool:

– Within the Veterinary Services

– Private stakeholders

– Regional and international communities

– Donors for technical assistance

Monitoring and Evaluation during implementation:

– continuous improvement in Efficiency of use of resources

– Demonstrate achievements
